The cannons fire for the immensely curious: How the Classical Scholars dropped security from the canon of Computer Science PS: note spelling is canon not cannon :)

There’s a cannon on secure coding? Do tell!

Who was responsible? I’m immensely curious.

Yeah gods, save us from the learned goody-goodies. We can either learn about facts and dates and participles, or we can learn about systems and causality and history, it seems. If the poster had spent more time on the latter she would have realised that the canon on secure coding was dropped from university curricula, and who was responsible for our loss.

Unfortunately they don’t have any of the curriculum up yet, but they do have the pdfs up from several past seminars/classes which are interesting.

So, is the cirriculum any good? Would you suggest to your VP HR that they give preferential treatment to students coming from those schools?
